I really wanted the BA Copper Spur, but it would have cost $400 or more with the ground pad, and I couldn't justify the price since I was also having to buy panniers and other gear. I was pleasantly surprised by the REI Quarter Dome, even though it was my second choice. It packed very small, so used up very little space in my panniers, and the poles easily fit inside. That was a big issue to me because many tents have poles that won't fit inside panniers, and I didn't want them rattling on top of my rack and possibly falling off.
